If you’re in the San Diego area, it will be well worth it to join us on the weekend of April 4th-5th. Thanks to the generous support of L2 Foundation and local churches, registration is extremely affordable.

I’ll be giving a seminar on Asian Americans and Postmodern Culture. I will be focusing on the unique intersection between postmodern culture and Asian American identity (so, Derrida and Foucault fans/foes please go easy on the philosophizing!). Hoping for an engaging and productive conversation…

To the left, you can find the postcard I designed to help advertise SDAALC (I tried linking a hi-res version, but it didn’t seem to work). All of the proceeds from the conference will go toward Love146, a group “working toward the abolition of child sex trafficking and exploitation through prevention and aftercare.”

I’d love to hear your juxtaposition between Nietzche, Heidegger, Foucault, and Derrida and in particular their views of anti-humanism [if that is your interpretation of their respective philosophy] and their understanding and writings concerning ethics – especially in regards to political economics.

Daniel — Thanks for the encouragement. I hope we can all have a meaningful conversation together.

Eugene — Yes. Because I know we both value a dialectic inquiry, I will graciously allow you to put forth your first epistemological hypothesis.

gosh i’m excited for you! let me know exactly what day your seminar is and i’ll lift you up in prayer, not that you would need it..

and where is your seminar on punk youth/indie culture and the church? that one i might understand but such fancy words ‘post modern’ and ‘dialectic’ and ‘didactic’ and … are greek to me..um, i love jesus?

Mia — Thanks. I’ve actually been kicking around ideas that relate to what you shared about indie/punk culture and what he church can learn from it. Nothing solid yet, though… Thanks for the prayers (I’ll need them)!
